    Beautiful pen. I like the new format. Enough info and then on to the application. The drawing looks great. Reminds me of a horror movie cover. There's a good story there somewhere. Love how it vignettes into the foreground as well. I try to do things like that on occasion but I'm not always successful. Nice work!

    Oh that is a beautiful pen. Another Moonman, my list is getting too long. 😂 I do love that you show some pen details and any quirks they may have. But the best part is that you show what I want to see and that is how the pen works for drawing. I really enjoyed this character. I'm glad you are enjoying creating these as much as we enjoy watching you create these. Play with the format as much as you need to, to find your groove. It's as much a part of your creativity as the drawing. 👍🏻

Nice work as always. Put these pages together into a book and you'd have a book of creatures and living objects to baffle the imagination. Complete with aged paper to make it look like an ancient text. 👍

      I have 3 versions of the 601 and honestly I wasn't ever really disappointed until this one when I had to replace the filling mechanism. There are pretty cool little things to use but as any Chinese fountain pen, there is always the chance of getting a dud. But even this one after I fixed it works without any issues. Don't get the fancy cap, more expensive version... you aren't missing on anything. Unless you really want that golden cap.

I know that paper can be a little soft so when I saw you pull it out for a dip pen, I thought you would tear it up more than you did. Yes, the fountain pen is definitely the way to go with this paper, especially a wider nib like a medium. I do love to use it though. There is a "feeling" to it like I'm working on really old paper.

    Thank you for this great video! What I personally find very unfortunate about these "new" N° #8 nibs from HongDian is that they simply give me too much feedback in the direction of a hard pencil. On the other hand, these nibs are simply top in terms of "bounce". And also that it is possible to create a little line variation with them. Overall, however, the nib in the HongDian N10 did not suit my taste, so I decided not to buy the N11 at all. Even the most beautiful fountain pen ultimately stands or falls with the nib it has.

    I've wanted a Waterman for a while now. This one may go on the list. It seemed effortless to write with. Unfortunately, I'm not too fond of standard blue ink and I think it did a disservice to your drawing. If the ink was darker like the black, dark green, or brown ink you sometimes use, then I think the contrast would make it pop a little more. I did like the drawing overall. Nice work!

    The pen isn't my favorite but I'm just so picky. 😂 That carbon ink is my favorite black ink for my fountain pens. Some people have claimed that they have problems with it but I've never had a days trouble with it and sometimes I leave it a pen I haven't touched in months. I feel bad for the sad monster you drew but I do like the subtle use of color mixed in. Nice work! 👍

    • @eugenborcan
      @eugenborcan 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, Platinum Carbon ink is pretty good stuff and as close as it can get to permanent. The only problem I had is that it tends to stain a little pens that are lighter in color and they are made out of resin. Other than that, no issues with it on this side either. Don't feel bad about the little guy - he (she!?) is actually quite happy - had one too many beers before "the portrait" was taken . Thanks Pete!

    Looks like a nice pen. I'm not particularly fond of hooded nibs as ink can get stuck there, but perhaps less an issue if filling the converter with a syringe or using cartridges.

    • @eugenborcan
      @eugenborcan 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I thought about it for a little and realized that maybe even in that case - when you have ink between nib and inside of the hood - is not a big issue. That hood will act as a basic overfeed... and the nib will "consume" the ink. Worth the try maybe... overall though, definitely not a bad fountain pen.

    • @eugenborcan

      I like it... and my copy seems to be working as intended. So based on that I definitely can recommend it. Just remember, like all Chinese pens you could get unlucky sometimes. A lot of people say some of my drawings reminds them of Tim's work. I guess maybe there is something in me from him :). Thanks!

      Did not got a chance to work on the feed. Still planning to do it at one point in time... just don't know when. My goal was to build my fountain pen eventually, but since then I decided on an entire new approach - making my own blanks and turning.

    to take out the nib and feed of the Montblanc 320 just grab the sides of the nib and push gently inward. I have the Montblanc 220 (piston filler) and 221P (cartridge). The weak part of this fountain pen is the turning knob of the piston fillers and the clear plastic part that the nib and barrels screws on to. If you can make a 3D printed clear plastic part for the 220, 221,320, etc. you can have a small business, there's a lot of people looking for this clear plastic part because this part usually breaks at the threads and it's almost impossible to repair. Mine were bought second hand and the 221P came with a cracked in the nib section threads, I had to repair it usual pure cyanoacrylate, but it may break again.

    Thanks for a great look at the pen, and nice drawing. I got my Royal Selangor in 2005, with a stub nib (so better for calligraphy than for sketching). One difference I noticed between your pen and mine is in the shape of the section: mine is more hourglass-shaped (negative curvature) than yours. Given that Sheaffer didn't produce these pens for very long, I find that curious.

    • @eugenborcan
      @eugenborcan 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@eugenborcan I've been using the pen lately, after a long hiatus. I really love the look when it's unposted; the nib is beautiful and the proportions are just right. In that regard, it's very similar to the unposted Pelikan M600. I find the cap a little too chunky though: when capped, the RS is longer than a capped M800, while narrower in the barrel.

      ​@@6507bankston I agree, that cap is too heavy when posted - it posts too shallow and makes the pen too long and top heavy. But unposted is a dream - thanks to that beautiful nib :). I don't have an M600 or M800 - is nice to know they are similar in size - thanks!
